Collegiate Consulting for Student-Athletes:
Collegiate Consulting for scholarship student-athletes naturally accelerates the college search process. Starting this process early is necessary so student-athletes have ample opportunities to market themselves to college coaches to gain exposure and receive critical feedback on their potential level of college play. For student-athletes, overlaying the athletic fit during the college search makes the matching process more complex. The student-athlete’s college list may be revised several times before the final target list is complete.
